Game of Thrones: Aurochs Roasted with Leeks

Roast sliced

Chopped carrots, leeks, and garlic

Chop 4 carrots and 6 leeks. Peel and separate a whole head of garlic into cloves.

Veggies + Olive oil

Put your vegetables in the dish, toss with olive oil to coat.

Herbs!

I used a blend of thyme, rosemary, and sage. The recipe also suggests bay leaves, but I opted to skip them.

Veggies coated with herbs

Since this is a pretty rustic meal, I simply tore the herbs instead of chopping them. No precise measurements on this part.

Bison on top of veggies

The meat in the title of this recipe, Aurochs, is an extinct bovine species. Instead, what we have here is a bison shoulder-about 3 pounds. Coat it with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then place it directly on top of your vegetables. Put it in the oven for an hour at 400, basting with broth or water halfway through.

Toast for Medieval Black Pepper Sauce

This is bread for an interesting sauce the book recommends served alongside the main course. Get a piece of bread, in this case a piece of crusty white bread that can also be found in this book, and burn it until blackened.
